Carson Palmer is a great multitasker. In one fine swoop, he’s been able to overshadow the World Series and Jason Campbell.

That’s right, the Carson Palmer trade to the Oakland Raiders is the hottest news Wednesday and the biggest question on the topic has been if the Raiders made the right move. In exchange for Carson Palmer, the Cincinnati Bengals receive a first round pick in the 2012 NFL draft and a conditional first round pick in the 2013 NFL draft as well as Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported Tuesday afternoon.

At best, this trade is risky. At worst, the trade is a franchise sinker.

We won’t have any clue of how this will play out until Carson Palmer gets on the field – to which Raiders coach Hue Jackson is keeping a secret. Fox NFL columnist Greg Couch believes this is just the kind of trade the late Raiders owner Al Davis would have appreciated.

Basketball Wives reality star Evelyn Lozada can breathe a sigh of relief. Her fiance, Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco, said he would change his last name back to Chad Johnson during an interview with ESPN’s Trey Wingo.

Chad Ochocinco, a Miami native, legally changed his last name in 2008 to avoid NFL fines for wearing the popular nickname on the back of his jersey. Last season, he wagered a bet claiming that if New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis shut him down this season he would change his surname back to Johnson. He was held to 28 receiving yards in two meetings against the Jets, but said he was just joking about the name change.

Apparently, Ochocinco has grown weary of his popular alias.

“I don’t have a choice right now,” Ochocinco said in the interview. “I’ve done enough with the Ocho thing.”

Some Bengals fans may argue that he hasn’t done nearly enough on the field with the “Ochocinco” name. However, Ochocinco the celebrity has accomplished quite a bit landing an appearance on Dancing with the Stars, a reality show, a talk show with Terrell Owens, a cereal and a reality star fiance.
